UTEC, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007


1.

Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


a) Business activity


UTEC INC., formerly Lyon Capital Venture Corp., is a Nevada corporation organized on November 8, 1993 as a “For Profit” corporation for the purpose of engaging in any lawful activity.  The Company was in the development stage through December 31, 2006, and the year ended December 31, 2007 is the first year during which the Company is considered an operating company and is no longer in the development stage.  On January 10, 2007 the Company purchased 100% of the shares of UTEC Corporation, Inc for a total consideration of 22,500,000 of the company’s par value $0.001 common shares and 20,000 of the company’s par value $0.001 preferred shares.  The Company also issued 2,525,000 common shares in finder’s fees.    


The Company’s business is to offer state of the art testing and analysis to clients worldwide.  The Company is a leader in commercial explosives technology including development, analysis, testing and manufacturing.


The Company operates a chemical research and development laboratory near Riverton, Kansas, which specializes in commercial explosives development and analysis. The Company also operates a destructive test facility near Hallowell, Kansas, which specializes in determining the detonating characteristics of commercial explosives.


b) Basis of Presentation


The accompanying financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Security and Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, certain disclosures normally prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted.  The accompanying financials statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2008 Form 10 Registration Statement.


The financial information included herein is unaudited; however, such information reflects solely normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period presented.


The results of operation for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.










c) Principles of Consolidation


The financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, UTEC Corporation.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.



d) Cash and Cash Equivalents


For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  The Company had $13,309 and $89,377 cash or cash equivalents at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 respectively


e) Trade Accounts Receivable and Credit Policy


Trade accounts receivable consist of amounts billed to customers for purchases of services and energetic materials. The Company extends credit to customers in accordance with normal industry standards and terms, which are typically net 30 to 45 days.  Credit risk arises as customers default on trade accounts receivable owed to the Company. The Company considers accounts receivable to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded. If amounts are subsequently determined to be uncollectible, they will be charged to operations when that determination is made.


f) Revenue Recognition


The Company recognizes revenue when materials are shipped or services are provided, and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, and the sales price is fixed or determinable.  The Company records customer shipping and handling charges as revenues with the associated costs recorded to cost of sales.



g) Inventories


Inventories, when the Company has them, consist of purchased materials held for resale and are carried at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.


h) Property, Plant and Equipment


Property, plant and equipment are carried at fair value for assets contributed in connection with the acquisition, and at cost for assets acquired subsequent to the acquisition date, less accumulated depreciation from the date of acquisition through the balance sheet date. The Company periodically assesses the recoverability of property, plant and equipment and evaluates such assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the net carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Asset impairment is determined to exist if estimated future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest charges, are less than the net carrying amount.









Depreciation expense is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimate useful lives of the assets as follows:


Building and leasehold improvements

10-25 years

Machinery and equipment

10-15 years

Furniture and fixtures & transportation equipment

3-7 years


Major additions and improvements are capitalized in the month following the month in which the assets or improvement are deemed to be placed in service. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon disposition, the net book value is eliminated from the accounts, with the resultant gain or loss reflected in operations.


i) Research and Development Costs


Research and development costs for the development of new products and update of existing products are expensed as incurred.


j) Income Taxes


The Company recognizes the tax effects of transactions in the year in which such transactions enter into the determination of net income, regardless of when reported for tax purposes.  Deferred taxes are provided in the financial statements under Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109 to give effect to the resulting temporary differences which may arise from differences in the bases of fixed assets, depreciation methods, allowances, share-based compensation, and start-up costs based on the income taxes expected to be payable in future years.  


k) Concentrations


The Company maintains balances in bank accounts that, at times, exceed federally insured limits. Management believes the risk of loss associated with this concentration is minimal.


For the three months ended September 30, 2008, two customers accounted for approximately 58% and 12% of the company sales.


For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, two customers accounted for approximately 53% and 15% of the Company’s net sales, respectively.


For the three months ended September 30, 2007, one customer accounted for approximately 33% of the company sales.


For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, two customers accounted for approximately 43% and 26% of the Company’s net sales.


At December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2008, one customer accounted for approximately 80% and 38% respectively of the Company’s accounts receivable.










l) Estimates


Preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual amounts may differ from those reported.


Certain significant estimates include the fair value of the Company’s intangible assets and the related amortization period.  These estimates are discussed in further detail at Note 6.


m) Going Concern Assumption


The Company’s group of activities consists solely of UTeC Corporation.  The Company’s business outlook for 2008 includes continuing the second year of a five (5) year technical services contract with Hallowell Manufacturing LLC to support the product and manufacturing technology at the Hallowell explosives plant site. The business plan for the Company is to add to its portfolio of intellectual property by signing agreements with other companies with existing technology in the materials processing business.  The Company will develop those technologies for use in undeveloped markets. The Company also plans to expand its material sales business which currently constitutes less than 20% of its revenue. The Company’s focus in this area will be to develop overseas sources of raw materials for sale to companies it already does business with or in markets where it has a presence.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 this number has risen to about 53% of total sales.  We expect to end the fiscal year 2008 with the share of the total revenue in excess of last years.


n)  Intangible Assets Acquired


Intangible assets are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.


Intangible assets acquired consist of a customer list and patent rights.  These intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives and tested for impairment if certain circumstances indicate and impairment may exist.  As of September 2008 the remaining amortization period is fifteen years for the customer list and patent rights.


Intangible assets that are amortized are tested for impairment at the asset level associated with the lowest level of cash flows.  An impairment exists if the carrying value of the asset is i) not recoverable (the carrying value of the asset is greater than the sum of the undiscounted cash flows) and ii) is greater than its fair value.


o)  Advertising Costs


Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and for the three-month periods ending September 30, 2008 and 2007 totaled approximately $6,162 and $24,807, respectively.  These same costs for the period nine-month period ending September 30, 2008 and 2007 totaled approximately $41,554 and $27,312.  These costs consist primarily of trade show, web site and publication expenses.











2.

Acquisitions


a)

Acquisitions


On January 10, 2007 the company UTEC, Inc. (formerly Lyon Capital Venture Corp, acquired UTEC Corporation, a global chemical and materials services company.  The Company is a leader in commercial explosives technology including development, analysis, testing and manufacturing.  


b)

Purchase Price and Value Assigned


The consideration for the UTEC Corporation acquisition consisted of 22,500,000 shares of restricted stock and 20,000 preferred shares.  The preferred shares were assigned a nominal value of $0.001 per share.  The common shares were valued at $0.08375 per share arrived at by dividing the net assets acquired (see Note 2 (c)) by the number of restricted stock issued in the exchange.  


c)

(ESI).  For the three-month period ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, ESI charged the Company $12,645 and $20,941 respectively for such services.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 ESI charged the Company $38,136 and $51,841 respectively, all of which is payable within thirty days of the invoice date.  










b) Other related party transactions


From time to time the Company enters into arrangements for the provision of services from one or more of its Directors, or companies in which its Directors have a financial interest.


On January 11, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Red Stone Management Services, a company owned by Dr. Fortunato Villamagna, for the services of Dr. Villamagna as CEO of the Corporation.  Payments to Red Stone under this agreement are based on time actually spent on the business of the Company by Dr. Villamagna, subject to a minimum annual fee of $40,000.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company has incurred management fee expense of $20,000 pursuant to this agreement, all of which is included in Accounts Payable to Related Parties, at September 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively.  The agreement was revised as of September 30, 2008 and the minimum annual fee increased to $150,000 of which $12,500 was expensed in September of 2008.


On January 1, 2007 UTeC Corporation (a wholly owned subsidiary effective January 10, 2007) entered into a Ground Lease Agreement for the properties that it occupies in Cherokee County, Kansas.  This lease is with Energetic Properties, LLC., a subsidiary of Energetic Systems, Inc. LLC., a significant shareholder in the company.  The initial term of the lease is seven (7) years, with provision to extend for five additional one year renewal periods.  The annual rent is prepaid through December 31, 2009; thereafter UTeC Corporation is obligated to pay an annual rent of $85,800 per year subject to adjustment for changes in the Consumer Price Index.  The discounted value of the lease is $75,000 with an annual amortization of $10,700 with the net book value at September 30, 2008 and 2007 being $55,891 and $65,891.  The Agreement includes all other terms and conditions which are normal and usual for leases of this type.


c) Advances from Energetic Systems Inc., LLC

 The Patent rights are based upon the contractual agreement between the Company and Ceramatec, as described in Note 9.  The Company is amortizing these Patent rights over 17 years.


Customer relationships represent the net present value of the discounted cash flows of customer relationships contributed by the Company in connection with the acquisition.  Although the Company does not typically have long-term contracts with these customers, most of them have been customers of the Company for many years.  The Company is amortizing the net present value of the estimated future cash flows of these customers over seventeen (17) years, which is based on the consistency, length and the unique nature of the customer relationships and the service which the Company provides.


Amortization expense for the next five years related to intangible assets is expected to be as follows:

Earnings (Loss) Per Share


Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS is computed in a manner similar to that of basic EPS except that the weighted-average number of common shares is increased to include the number of incremental common shares (computed using the Treasury Stock method) that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares (such as stock options) were issued during the period.  Diluted EPS is the same as basic EPS if the effect of the incremental shares is anti-dilutive.


For the nine and three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share were the same, as all potentially dilutive shares were anti-dilutive.

Net Deferred Tax Asset

$

(119,900)


In assessing the realizability of the net deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon either the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to become deductible.  Management considers the entire deferred tax asset to be fully realizable at September 30, 2008, and accordingly, has not recorded a valuation allowance.  


The Company is not currently subject to any specific audit by any federal, state or local taxing authority.  There are no unrecognized tax benefits or tax positions previously taken which could give rise to uncertainty, and therefore there are no calculations or classifications of interest, penalties, or effects on income taxes related to such uncertainties.


At September 30, 2008, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards totaling approximately $231,000, which primarily begin to expire in 2022.


Actual income taxes differ from “expected” income tax, computed by applying the U.S. Federal corporate income tax rate of 34% to earnings (loss) from operations before income taxes for the nine and three months ended September 30 as follows:

Contractual Obligations


a)  Ceramatec, Inc.


Effective February 1, 2007 the company entered into a License and Supply Agreement with Ceramatec, Inc. of Salt Lake City, Utah (“License”) for a world wide exclusive royalty-free license to practice Cermatec’s Gild Arc Plasma Oxidizer technology for the destruction of solid and liquid hazardous chemicals and biologicals.  The agreement continues to the full end of the term or terms for which patent rights held by Ceramatec and related to the technology have not expired.


In connection with the agreement, the Company granted 850,000 shares of its Common Stock to Ceramatec.  Subject to any Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, Ceramatec may sell its stock starting two years from the Effective Date of the agreement. The Ceramatec agreement provided for (i) a license to the technology, (ii) support with the technology and (iii) a supply agreement with Ceramatec in exchange for the shares provided.


The shares to Ceramatec were provided for item ( i ), the license. The support and supply agreement ( i & ii ) were included in the supply agreement and payments made to Ceramatec to purchase the equipment and units specified in the agreement.


The restricted stock given in exchange for the exclusive licensing agreement with Ceramatec was valued at $0.0842 per share.  This value was adopted from the calculation of the value of the restricted shares given in exchange for the acquired company, Utec Corporation.  See note 2 (b) of the Financial Statements.  The agreement with Ceramatec is dated February 1, 2007 within three weeks of the day UTEC Corporation was acquired.  Although the market price at the close of business on February 1, 2007 was $0.52 per share a true trading market for the stock had not been established during that brief period and Management believed a more accurate fair value was represented by the value established in the acquisition of Utec Corporation.  The Company has accounted for its share-based payments in accordance with SFAS 123(R), “Share Based Payments”, and EITF Issue 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”.










If Ceramatec is not able to sell its stock granted under this agreement for at least $700,000 within the first two years after it is allowed to sell its stock under this agreement, then any license granted under this agreement shall become non-exclusive.  Ceramatec agreed to pay a finders fees of 85,000 shares to a third party in connection with this agreement.


The Company is amortizing the asset over seventeen (17) years, which is the estimated remaining life of the patents to which the Company has exclusivity rights.  See Note 5.


During the term of the License, the company is obligated to purchase plasma oxidizer units from Ceramatec in order to maintain exclusivity under the license agreement. The company’s minimum obligations under this purchase arrangement are $100,000 in 2008, $200,000 in 2009 and $600,000 for each remaining year of the agreement. If the minimum purchase requirement is not met for any year, the license grant of this agreement shall automatically convert from exclusive to nonexclusive for the remainder of the term of the agreement.


The License includes a provision that entitles the Company to any improvements to the technology, whether patentable or not, without further cost to the Company.



b)  Princeton Research


Effective September 17, 2007 the company entered into an agreement with Princeton Research for corporate services.  In exchange for these services the company issued 50,000 common shares to Princeton.  The shares were valued at $0.45 per share equal to the market value of the stock on the agreement signing date.  The services were rendered in 2007 and the amortization of $22,500 was fully expensed before by year end.


c) BioEnergy Applied Technologies, LLC



On April 4, 2008, the Company entered into a joint technical development and marketing agreement (“Marketing Agreement”) with BioEnergy Technologies, LLC (“BAT”), a corporation jointly owned by two directors of the company.  Pursuant to the term of the Marketing Agreement, the Company and BAT have agreed to undertake a joint technical development and marketing program to develop and sell certain patented technology held by BAT and to pursue certain business opportunities.  The parties will share equally in the net profits before taxes in connection with the license or sale of the patented technology pursuant to the Marketing Agreement.


As additional consideration, for each year in which the grant of the Subject Matter under the Marketing Agreement is exclusive to the Company, the Company will issue 200,000 options to purchase 200,000 shares of its common stock to BAT or its nominee.  Options will be issued at the end of each year of exclusivity, beginning April 1, 2009.  The options granted hereunder will be for a period of ten (10) total years, exercisable at a price of $0.28 per share.











10.

Employee Stock Plan


Effective March 26, 2008 the restricted shares issued pursuant to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan dated January 11, 2007 were cancelled in their entirety, except for 16,000 which were misplaced by the employee and will be cancelled in a timely manner.  The Plan has since been rescinded.  


In its place each employee signed an Employee Stock Option Plan dated March 26, 2008. The plan contains no provision for vesting and each employee may exercise their rights to purchase shares at the strike price of $0.25 on the plan date.  The unexercised options terminate at the end of five years or upon the employee being terminated from the Company whichever is earlier.


The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table.  Expected volatilities are based on implied volatilities from traded options on the Company’s stock in addition to other publicly traded companies stock within the market segment of industrial waste management. This is due primarily to the fact that The Company does not have enough history to properly ascertain the volatility rate.  The expected term of options granted is also estimated since the company does not have a history of granting stock rights and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the Libor rate in effect at the time of grant.

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company did not recognize compensation expense and a corresponding increase to Common Stock and Additional Paid-in Capital based upon the estimated fair value of the Common Stock at the date of the grant and the vesting period of the grants due to the Plan being adopted so late in the quarter with no appreciable time having lapsed for amortization to be taken.


For the three and nine month period ending September 30, 2008 share based compensation expense of $32,250 and $64,500 was recognized, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements


In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, as amended in February 2008 by FSP FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for the Company as of January 1, 2008. However, FSP FAS 157-2 defers the effective date for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except those items recognized or disclosed at fair value on an annual or more frequently recurring basis, until January 1, 2009. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. We do not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on our financial statements.










In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. The provisions are effective for the Company as of January 1, 2008. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and report unrealized gains and losses on these instruments in earnings. We do not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on our financial statements.


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations. The provisions, which change the way companies account for business combinations, are effective for the Company as of January 1, 2009. This statement requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose all information needed by investors to understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. We do not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on our financial statements.


In December 2007, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, the provisions of which are effective for the Company as of January 1, 2009. This statement requires an entity to classify noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries as a separate component of equity. Additionally, transactions between an entity and noncontrolling interests are required to be treated as equity transactions. We are currently evaluating the impact of this statement on our financial statements.














Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

2007 was the first year of operation for the Company., after it acquired the UTEC Corporation from Energetic Systems Inc, LLC..  In 2007, the Company was organized into three marketing units, Energetic Materials, Specialty Chemicals and Raw Materials and Hazardous Chemicals and Biological Waste Destruction.  The Company’s historical legacy business was primarily constituted by the first two marketing units and almost exclusively within the commercial explosives market.  Revenue comparisons are included from these two activities.


The new marketing unit, Hazardous Chemicals and Biological Waste Destruction was in a development stage during the year, and had no commercial revenues.  Focus during the year was on licensing and validation of the Cold Plasma Oxidizer technology, and on the development of the Company’s Waste Destruction System, identification of potential markets, and preparation of its business plan.  This business unit will be independently staffed and structured in order to pursue commercialization of Cold Plasma Oxidizer waste destruction systems during 2008.


Revenues


Revenues for the three and nine months ended September 2008 were $821,400 and $1,888,400, respectively.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 revenues were $292,600 and $1,146,600, respectively. Major activities that contributed to this revenue were primarily in the areas of contract research and product development and independent product testing.  Revenues totaling $647,000 and $1,185,700 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, came from the Specialty Chemicals Unit through the manufacture and sale of inorganic chemical sensitizers to customers engaged in commercial explosives production. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 revenue from the same products totaled $115,300 and $471,100, respectively for each period.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, this number has risen to about 62% of total sales.  We project that 2008 revenue will increase with new business in both areas, but most specifically in the Specialty Chemicals area as new materials are made available to customers, and developments in new technologies are pursued.


Expenses


The Company’s legacy business has historically been service based with temporary employees retained on an as needed basis to support manufacturing activities.  For the three and nine month period ending September 30, 2008 the wage and burden expense as a percent of total expenses was 42% and 39% respectively, totaling $237,200 and $568,300, respectively.   


The Company’s legacy business is engaged in the research, development, testing and analysis of commercial explosives.  Some of the R&D activities have been in the development of new or improved technologies or new product development to be used internally within the company.

 









Some of the other R&D activities during the last year have been in the testing, analysis and QC (quality control) areas and the costs associated with these activities were for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, approximately $70,000 and $151,000, respectively.  These costs are passed to the Company’s customers, as per the agreements the Company has with the various customers.


The Company owns all of the research and testing facilities and these facilities are operated by Company personnel/employees.  None of the facilities are operated by the Company’s customers or licensees or any other third parties.


Travel related expenses, which mostly constitute business support and development activities, for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2008 were $32,700 and $97,000 respectively, reflecting increased travel pursing financing arrangements and higher travel costs.  For the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2007 these same costs were $21,700 and $55,000, respectively.  


Accounting and management expenses for the three months ending September 30, 2008 and the nine months ended September 30, 2008, were $71,300 and $210,500, respectively, which includes accruals of $32,000 and $48,000, respectively.  For the same periods September 30, 2007 the costs were $78,000 and $126,600.


The company expended capital items in the three months ending September 30, 2008 totaling $21,000, and the Company is building an asset which will be placed in service later this year.  In the three month period ending March 31, 2008, a significant reversal of amortization expense was recorded to reflect the cancellation of the restricted stock issued to Directors, Officers and employees of the Company in 2007 totaling $107,000.  These restricted shares were replaced with options on March 26, 2008.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, amortization expense of $64,500 was recorded for these new options.


Assets


The Company invoices its services and products as they are provided or shipped to its customers.  The majority of its sales are to customers who are large privately held or publicly traded organizations, many of whom have been in business for a number of years.  As a consequence, the Company’s record in collecting its accounts receivable is exemplary.  Although the nature of the Company’s business is expected to grow and change in the next several years, it is not expected that targeted customers’ profiles will differ significantly.  The Company therefore does not anticipate a change in credit risk.  


The Company was self-funding for most of the year, drawing periodically on a credit facility provided to it by one of its shareholders. The Company has also had to rely on internally advanced short term funding for the three months ended September 30, 2008, in the amount of $112,000.  The company expects to carry a balance through to the end of the year absent new or additional investment.











In addition to accounts receivable, the Company maintains a small inventory of supplies and materials necessary to support its legacy manufacturing and testing business.  This inventory turns regularly.  Some components are hazardous materials, and they are stored by the Company in federally and state-regulated storage facilities.  To the extent that any of the items included in inventory became obsolete during the year, the items were written off and disposed of.


Intangible assets consist mainly of the Company’s portfolio of intellectual property which is the basis for the Company’s research and development and testing activities. Patents currently held by the Company were previously listed in the Company’s Form 10 filed on March 31, 2008, and amended.

 

The Company’s patents, any licensed technology, and the know-how that resides within the Company represent the Company’s overall technology portfolio which goes beyond the patents directly held by the Company.


Property, plant and equipment is composed of the Company’s physical facilities at Riverton and Hallowell, Kansas, and related equipment and storage used in its business.  The Company’s facilities are located on lands leased from a subsidiary of Energetic Systems Inc., LLC. pursuant to a prepaid lease.


Liabilities


The Company’s liabilities primarily consist of current amounts payable or accrued to trade creditors, and amounts owing to related parties for management fees, expenses, and shared services.

Certain of the materials the company uses or handles are hazardous materials.  These materials are stored in federally and state licensed storage facilities, under permits granted to the Company.  As of September 30, 2008, the company was not in violation of any of its license and permits required to carry on its business.

 As of September 30, 2008, the company had $13,000 cash on hand.  This was a temporary situation and with a temporary infusion of cash from an internal source company operations were not negatively affected.  Periodically, the Company finds itself in a negative cash flow position.  While the Company has limited liquidity, it did finish the year funding its operations with internally generated cash, with the exception of some short term temporary funding required during the third quarter.  When UTEC Corporation was formed and acquired by UTEC, Inc., management believed that the Company would need approximately $500,000 to properly fund operations until such time as the Company was able to generate enough cash flow from increased or new business to generate appropriate amounts of working capital.  This money was to be raised via a secondary offering or through private placements.  Due to current financial market conditions, the Company was unable to externally finance, through independent third parties, the projected $500,000 management believed would be necessary to properly fund operations.  The Company exceeded management’s cash flow projections and with short term financing from Energetic Systems, Inc. LLC (ESI) was able to meet its obligations.  To keep these short term borrowings to a minimum, the Company negotiated extended payment terms with some of our









vendors. Management believes the Company will continue to have negative working capital for 2008 or until such time as market conditions improve and we can either raise sufficient funds via a secondary offering or private placement.  ESI has continued to fund the Company's short term needs in 2008 and has indicated a willingness to do so until such time as other funds become available.  As for years beyond 2008, Management believes the new business being developed will provide sufficient funds to adequately fund working capital for the foreseeable future.  Additionally, we are continuing our efforts to locate a substantial investor to fund many of our new business projects (e.g. waste destruction) and as part of that investment provide working capital for our ongoing legacy business needs.

To fund the expansion of the company’s business into the Hazardous Chemicals and Biological Waste Destruction business, the Company will need to raise significant capital with debt and/or equity financing. If the Company is unsuccessful in securing additional funding, the commercialization schedule for the new Waste Destruction marketing plan will be delayed.


 The Company believes it will generate sufficient cash flow to cover its current business responsibilities over the next 12 months, but if short term funding is necessary, the Company has assets available to act as security to guarantee short term funding from conventional loan sources. If necessary, the management may guarantee these potential loans, but there is no current written or oral agreement for such guarantees. The Company has from time to time sufficient receivables to act as security for short term funding guarantees.
